Throughout all of 2021, the NFT community has been skeptical of celebrity NFT projects and with good reason. They have been mostly cashgrabs. 2022 is starting off differently. Ozzy Osbourne is releasing his NFT project, CryptoBatz, and the utility behind this project is much different from anything you've seen so far in the NFT space.  My guest for the week was my good friend and community manager of the CryptoBatz project, Dannyphantom.eth. 

Throughout the episode, Danny and I discussed: 

- the utility behind the project 

- what separates this project from other NFT projects 

- symbolism behind the project 

- Ozzy Osbourne's participation

I decided to dedicate my last episode of 2021 to what I love most about the NFT space... developing NFT projects for big brands. My guest for the week was the President of VaynerNFT, Avery Akkineni.  

VaynerNFT is Gary Vaynerchuk's leading NFT development/consultant agency. They've launched several projects for F500 companies in 2021, as well as other big brands. Miss Avery has overseen the launch and execution of NFT projects for Pepsi, Budweiser, Like Nastya, Robert Mondavi Wine, the US Open for tennis, Bojangles, and more.  

Many people within the NFT space are skeptical of big brands entering the space in an unauthentic way. VaynerNFT is here to help guide these brands into the space in the most genuine way possible. They want these F500 companies to earn the trust of the NFT community.

You've probably seen at least 1 person with ".eth" in their username on social media by now. Why are people using ".eth"? What's the significance behind ENS?   

My guest for the week was director of operations at ENS, Brantly Millegan. Mr. Brantly joined the show to help me answer these questions and really delve into the concept of our Web 3 identities and why ENS names are some of the most important NFTs you can obtain.

The route to "making it" in the music industry is different than it used to be. The traditional route of dealing with labels, managers, agents, etc. is going out of style. Why? Because of blockchain.  Blockchain has given rise to the creator economy and my guest for the week, Austin Virts, joined me to discuss what Audius is up to in 2022. Austin is the head of marketing at Audius and he was previously the head of marketing at Solana.    

Throughout the episode, we discussed: 

- What is Audius? 

- How you can get paid through Audius 

- How Audius is decentralized 

- Why artists should upload their sounds to Audius 

- Audius for podcasters  

Thank you all and I hope you found value in this episode.
